While working at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear

become the web in a document called "Information Management: A
Proposal."

<p>
Berners-Lee was encouraged by his boss, Mike Sendall, to begin
implementing his system on a newly acquired NeXT workstation. He
formalized the proposal together with his colleague Robert
Cailliau and by Christmas 1990, he had built all the tools
necessary for a working Web: the HyperText Transfer Protocol
(HTTP), the HyperText Markup Language (HTML), the first Web
browser (named WorldWideWeb, which was also a Web editor), the
first HTTP server software (later known as CERN httpd), the first
web server (http://info.cern.ch), and the first Web pages that
described the project itself.<br />

<p>
Paul Kunz from the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC)
visited CERN in September 1991, and was captivated by the Web. He
brought the NeXT software back to SLAC, where librarian Louise
Addis adapted it for the VM/CMS operating system on the IBM
mainframe as a way to display SLAC's catalog of online documents;
this was the first Web server outside of Europe and the first in
North America.

On 30 April 1993, CERN put the World Wide Web software in the
public domain. CERN made the next release available with an open
license, as a more sure way to maximize its dissemination. Through
these actions, making the software required to run a web server
freely available, along with a basic browser and a library of
code, the web was allowed to flourish.

most popular browser.

Marc Andreessen imagined a more dynamic Web and believed that a
language easy to use by Web designers was needed. He recruited
Brendan Eich, who in 10 days wrote a prototype for the Netscape
browser in May 1995. The language was first called Moca, later
LiveScript, and finally renamed JavaScript (to serve as a
companion language to Java). The official public announcement of
JavaScript was on December 4, 1995.

RSS (RDF Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication) is a web
feed that allows users and applications to access updates to
websites in a standardized, computer-readable format. These feeds
can, for example, allow a user to keep track of many different
websites in a single news aggregator.
</p>
<p>
RDF Site Summary, the first version of RSS, was created by Dan
Libby and Ramanathan V. Guha at Netscape. It was released in March
1999 for use on the My.Netscape.Com portal. This version
became known as RSS 0.9. In July 1999, Dan Libby of Netscape
produced a new version, RSS 0.91, which simplified the format
by removing RDF elements and incorporating elements from Dave
Winer's news syndication format. Libby also renamed the
format from RDF to RSS Rich Site Summary.

<p>
The Semantic Web is an extension of the World Wide Web to make
Internet data machine-readable. To enable the encoding of
semantics with the data, technologies such as Resource Description
Framework (RDF) and Web Ontology Language (OWL) are
used. Tim Berners-Lee originally expressed his vision of the
Semantic Web in 1999 as follows:
</p>
<p>
I have a dream for the Web [in which computers] become capable of
analyzing all the data on the Web – the content, links, and
transactions between people and computers. A "Semantic Web", which
makes this possible, has yet to emerge, but when it does, the
day-to-day mechanisms of trade, bureaucracy and our daily lives
will be handled by machines talking to machines. The "intelligent
agents" people have touted for ages will finally materialize.

In January 2001, Wikipedia began as a side-project of Nupedia, to
allow collaboration on articles prior to entering the peer-review

portmanteau of the words wiki (Hawaiian for "quick") and
encyclopedia. The wikipedia.com and wikipedia.org domain names
were registered on 12 and 13 January, respectively, with
wikipedia.org being brought online on the same day. The

Google released the Chrome browser on December 11, 2008, using the
same WebKit rendering engine as Safari and a faster JavaScript
engine called V8. Shortly after, an open-sourced version for the
Windows, OS X, and Linux platforms was released under the name
Chromium. With a rapid release cycle and a focus on speed, Google
Chrome eventually overtook all other browsers.

Node.js was initially developed by Ryan Dahl in March 2009 based
on Google's open source V8 JavaScript engine. It paved way to the
use of JavaScript on Web servers. Node.js functions are
non-blocking, allowing the server to handle a high load of
concurrent connections. It represents a 'JavaScript everywhere'
paradigm, unifying web-application development around a single
programming language.
